I noticed something strange this morning when resuming my computer. I had a page open with some blinking text. For about 10 seconds, the browser was blinking text elements very fast consuming lots of CPU. My understanding is that the blink timer accumulated blink events while it was stopped and dispatches them when it is unsuspended. This can be simulated with something like: 1) open: data:text/html,<div style="text-decoration: blink; font-size: 20em">blink</div> 2) kill -STOP {pid}; sleep {some_seconds}; kill -CONT {pid} 3) notice the fast blinking for a few seconds. Then normal blinking continues.
See also bug 431492. (I'd merge them, but: this is a bug, not an enhancement, and I can't change the severity.)
s/merge them/mark that as duplicate/.
Yes, that's a duplicate. I've adjusted the severity.
Severity: enhancement → normal
Support for blink effect was dropped in bug 857820.
